HUGIN: Safeguarding our critical undersea infrastructure

From the fibre-optic cables that connect the world to the pipelines that power it, we are becoming increasingly dependent on these invisible assets. These critical subsea infrastructures are vulnerable, and monitoring them is no small task. Fortunately, there are various tools that make the job easier. The HUGIN family is one of them.

Joining forces with Aker Solutions in protecting critical infrastructure

Kongsberg Discovery and Aker Solutions are joining forces to showcase a drone (UAV) detection system in Stavanger, using Kongsberg’s Drone Detection Radar. This marks the beginning of a broader rollout of infrastructure products in the North Sea to enhance situational awareness around offshore assets and transit lanes. 

Driving multibeam innovation with FEMME 2026

Kongsberg Discovery has now issued a call for papers for FEMME 2026, providing a unique stage for third-party multibeam specialists to engage with this niche global gathering.

Defining reliability

Trust is everything when operating Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) on commercial missions. Deep Sea Vision's Craig Wallace explains why.

MBR receives U.S. Department of Defense certification

Kongsberg Discovery today announced that its Mobile Broadband Radio (MBR) MK3 series has received DD1494 certification from the United States Department of Defense (DoD), authorizing the systems for use across U.S. military operations.

‘Ears in the ocean’ to boost global safety and sustainability

Kongsberg Discovery is targeting a global roll out of advanced passive acoustic technology, helping markets such as the oil, gas and naval sectors detect operational anomalies from the outset, safeguarding critical subsea assets and environments. The push comes with the full integration of Bergen, Norway’s Naxys Technologies into the company, following on from its acquisition in January this year.

AUV Production in US

Kongsberg Discovery has decided to start production of HUGIN, an autonomous underwater vehicle, in the U.S. This strategic decision reflects the commitment to supporting the growing demand for advanced subsea technology in the U.S. market.

FS80, a new benchmark in trawl sonar technology

Kongsberg Discovery is heralding a new age of efficient, simplified and sustainable pelagic trawling with the commercial launch of the breakthrough FS80 Trawl Sonar.

Tykoflex and Kongsberg Discovery enters strategic partnership

Tykoflex AB and Kongsberg Discovery have entered a strategic partnership to explore how Tykoflex’s proven fiber optic subsea closures can serve as a platform for integrating Kongsberg Discovery’s advanced sensor, communication, and positioning technologies. The agreement was signed in Almedalen on Gotland on June 24.

Expanding in the United States

The global technology leader Kongsberg Discovery announces on June 17 the signing of an agreement to acquire Sonatech, a prominent expert in the field of underwater acoustics. 

The ultimate navigation safeguard against malicious GNSS disruption

At a time when GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) reception face growing threats from jamming and spoofing, having a navigation system that doesn't solely rely on satellite signals has become vital for critical maritime operations. With real-world disruptions increasingly affecting shipping and aviation safety, Kongsberg Discovery's MGCs (Motion Gyro Compasses) deliver an unmatched level of reliability, accuracy and resilience in contested environments.

Joining forces with disruptive ambitions

Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd and Kongsberg Discovery AS have signed a co-operation agreement to develop next generation MEMS-based gyro technology that will disrupt existing solutions.
